Homesuck: Vriska Rising

[Bard The 5th LW]

I assumed that Davesprite took over SBAJH at some point.

*ahem* The term for it is "alternate Alpha timeline", not this peasantry noun pronounced "fanfic".

I kinda feel bad for not doing the rest of the reset kids introductions like I'd momentarily planned, because I could have felt really cool about guessing that Nanna's name was Jane.

But I didn't, so it doesn't matter.

Ahaha it's Ron Swanson on the back wall. Best kid ever.


edit: And Dr Manhattan with another poster over his Empire State Building.

What does the troll text on the computer say? I can never remember how to translate that stuff.

And that SBURB ALPHA poster has a Betty Crocker logo on it. Who is now multiglobal.


Oh, and I'm not spoiler tagging this because people who see a new thread title, and then don't check MSPA before going in the thread are silly.

Anyway, might as well compile the list of things we can take away from this update.Anyway, might as well compile the list of things we can take away from this update.

Judging by the presence of Betty Crocker and Lil' Cal, as well as the color shift in the curtains to green, Lord English has his hands all over the reset session. It is 2x3prong Day, a phoney baloney corporate holiday created for "rebranding purposes" by Betty Crocker, which references the 2x3dent strife specibus used by Feferi and the Condesce.

Guardian!Dave has become a successful comic creator, apparently. The Lalonde house has a bit more mad science going on in it, though it remains to be seen whether Guardian!Rose or Kid!Mom is the one behind much of it. Kid!Grandpa's location is the only one not shown, meaning that Guardian!Jade may have found a different place to settle down instead of the volcano island. He is already at work modifying the bunny, though it's unclear if this is due to his already being in contact with Classic!Jade or if the reset session has Con Air-inspired shenanigans afoot of its own. Considering that there are already two time-traveling bunnies sitting on Jane's bed, this could go either way. Or be both!

There also appears to be a thirteenth troll, based on Ophiuchus judging by the emblem above the monitor. I'm entirely at a loss as to what the deal is there, but I feel as though adding more trolls is the opposite of what we should be doing at this point in this story.

I think the more pressing matter is SBAHJ: The Movie. Will there ever be a flash of it?

[BitVyper]

Hmm, so the new kids will probably be older as well, and we have a clear indicator that "older" here actually means they're a significant ways past the important birthday. At least this is all true of Jane. That's interesting.

Edit: So it looks like Bro's sword is a product of his dreams in this timeline (and something like Cal is there too, although I'm kinda guessing it won't have Cal's head).

My shot-in-the-dark guess is that it's a troll from the aborted timeline. Either one who survived, or from before the timeline was aborted.

[POS Industries]

They're either all older, or Jane and Kid!Grandpa are a couple years older than the others, as a reflection of how they were many years older in the original session.

If that's the case, then it's possible that John, Rose, Dave, and Jade are still all the same age in this session, as well.

[BitVyper]

I dunno, it's still strange when every other character has been in the same year as their passage-to-adulthood birthday.

Judging by the presence of Betty Crocker and Lil' Cal

We didn't actually SEE the puppet's head, so it might not be Cal. That said; if it is, I would kind of expect this Cal to be the one that becomes the prototype from which Lord English originally takes his form. Maybe.
